Re: [Tm-rid] Making progress to the TMRID charter

["Card, Stu" <[e-mail]>]

Clarification: "This specification defines the baseline design,
construction, and verification requirements for an UAS" needs "RID system"
appended, as the cited ASTM standard is exclusively about RID, not any
other aspect of UAS.
